To me it depends - how good do you think his age prime seasons are going to be?

Edwin is relatively cheap and under the Reds' control for the next few seasons. If you think he'll mature into a .850-.875 guy in his peak years, I'd stick him in LF and enjoy the production. If you're not convinced he can do that, trade him to fix another hole.

I'm not on board with keeping him at third (because he's terrible there) or moving him to 1B (Votto is pretty solid at first and Alonso is on the way - so what's the point?). Either move him to LF or trade him... and I'm going to cop out and not vote in the poll, since I don't know what kind of trade value he has.
